Ye Fan's cultivation level was a tier higher than Li Zhaojun's, and he also had dual Nascent Souls for support, making his actual cultivation even higher, so he could easily subdue Li Zhaojun.

When Li Zhaojun felt that Ye Fan could completely subdue her without harming her, she believed that she and Ye Fan were at the same plane, and that the person before her was truly Ye Fan.

"Ye Fan..." Li Zhaojun felt at ease. Previously bewildered and helpless in the illusion of betrayal, she now finally found something to rely on, with Ye Fan to protect her. Ye Fan didn't say much because Hai Wuzi and Hua Wu were still unaware behind them.

Hai Wuzi was in the late fusion stage, and Hua Wu was in the early Mahayana stage, making it extremely difficult to subdue both at once.

"Zhao Jun, help me." Ye Fan immediately turned to face Hua Wu, and on the other side, Hai Wuzi, unable to see the situation clearly, did not initiate an attack and remained on the defensive.

"Understood." Li Zhaojun channeled her Pure Yin Spiritual Energy into Ye Fan's body, allowing Ye Fan to harmonize Yin and Yang and directly confront Hua Wu.

With a menacing expression, Hua Wu said, "Demon, it's time for you to meet your end!"

Hua Wu had long wanted to kill Ye Fan, and in this space of illusion and reality, she paused not at all nor did she show any mercy, aiming to deliver a fatal blow to Ye Fan in a single strike. Unfortunately, the person before her was the real Ye Fan, whose cultivation, backed by dual Nascent Souls and Li Zhaojun's Spiritual Energy, surpassed hers.

Ye Fan's Fire Dragon Sword emitted a bewitching red glow, as foretold by the prophetic vision, instantly surrounding Hua Wu with a fire dragon. Hua Wu wielded her sword, slashing down several fire dragons, but she could not hold for long. She realized that the person before her must be Ye Fan, for no matter how real an illusion is, there are always conceptual blurs. Even though the illusory 'Ye Fan' used Pure Yang Spiritual Energy, it was never as expertly wielded as the real Ye Fan's in front of her.

"Bang!" Ye Fan did not use the Fire Dragon Sword to stab Hua Wu directly to death; he didn't want the seven major sects to completely fall into a state of disintegration.

Finding Hua Wu an eyesore, he couldn't recklessly kill her, for she was the Sect Master of the Tianxuan Sect, a grandmaster. If she died, the Tianxuan Sect would never unite to counter the heavenly tribulations again.

Ye Fan also couldn't, as suggested by Sang Yuan, whimsically make Hua Wu his slave. Not only did Hua Wu have no reason to submit to him, even if she did, he had to consider the Tianxuan Sect's response to the matter.

Hua Wu had been arrogant previously, but under Ye Fan's attacks, her ability to counterattack was inferior to Huang Ze's. Huang Ze had been defeated by Ye Fan on Earth, and this time Ye Fan's cultivation was even higher, with Li Zhaojun assisting. Facing Ye Fan, she could only withstand three rounds at most, before Ye Fan's Spiritual Energy directly knocked her to the ground.

"Sect Master Hua, I apologize!" Ye Fan merely injured Hua Wu, leaving her temporarily unable to resist, without damaging her meridians or Nascent Soul. She could fully recover within a day or two of recuperation.

"You!" Hua Wu glared angrily at Ye Fan, but to no avail in the end, for she knew she couldn't kill Ye Fan anymore.

Hai Wuzi, seeing Ye Fan injure Hua Wu without killing, and witnessing Ye Fan's earlier displayed strength, believed even more that the Ye Fan in front of her was real.

Ye Fan said, "Sect Master Hai, now we must bring the surrounding people out of the illusion, by eliminating these illusory images. If you can't discern them, just stand aside, and I'll handle it myself!"

"Alright!" Hai Wuzi nodded, then saw Min Shang's eyes bloodshot as she charged at her.

Ye Fan first wanted to rescue the people around him, Min Shang, Lan Jing, Sang Yuan, and even the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman. Only by bringing them to his plane could he take action.

As Min Shang appeared, he immediately cut down Min Shang's illusions twice, allowing Min Shang's true self to escape the illusory betrayal. Just like Li Zhaojun earlier, Ye Fan first bound her with Pure Yang Spiritual Energy, allowing her to sense the meridian channels he had used to impart Pure Yang Spiritual Energy during their training, which was a secret only known to the three of them, excluding Ye Fan and Li Zhaojun. She then believed Ye Fan was real.

As for Lan Jing, her situation was a bit more complicated. Betrayal did not exist in her mind; her insight into others was incredibly strong. When those people attacked her, she couldn't understand why they wanted to harm her, but she was still able to accurately slash down the illusions until Ye Fan saved her. When Lan Jing saw Ye Fan, she smiled faintly, sensing that this Ye Fan was real without requiring any proof from Ye Fan.

When Ye Fan brought Sang Yuan back, Sang Yuan was still puzzled. She never thought that even with her cultivation beyond ascension, she would fall into the trap of illusions, especially since she had reached the point of being able to create illusions herself. She dared not act against the nearby illusions, fearing they might include her master or mistress, so she focused on self-preservation. Since those illusions' cultivation levels were much lower than hers, she just needed to protect herself. When Ye Fan brought her to his plane, he sent a gentle, non-attacking wave of Spiritual Energy to her brow. Sang Yuan immediately knew Ye Fan was real because it was the spot where she had infused her recognizing-owner Spiritual Energy into Ye Fan after making a Blood Oath with him.

Ye Fan still wanted to save the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman, but unfortunately, he couldn't find her image nearby.

He momentarily put those thoughts aside and charged into the frenzied battling illusions, directly attacking wherever the Tongling Mirror guided him.

Thus, the scene foretold by the prophetic vision manifested itself; Ye Fan indeed was using the Fire Dragon Sword to commence a massacre, but he was not killing the cultivators' true bodies, but rather illusions, helping these people escape the control of the illusions.

After saving one person, Ye Fan restrained them to prevent continued fighting in this plane, making them watch everything he did before them.

"Hero Ye, let's discuss this calmly, what's really happening?" Huang Ze also entered Ye Fan's space. His injuries hadn't healed yet, and even upon seeing Ye Fan, he couldn't ascertain if it was real or fake, so he tried to retreat as much as possible, for the cultivation of each 'Ye Fan' presented in the illusions was beneath him, yet he couldn't defeat any because his post-injury cultivation was at most at the early fusion stage.

"Sect Master Huang, just watch from the side!" Ye Fan ignored the clownish Huang Ze and continued to rescue others.

The more people in this plane, the more terrifying the situation seemed, as they also couldn't distinguish who the rampaging Ye Fan was, but seeing Ye Fan slashing down each apparition, they gradually began to trust that Ye Fan was the real one.

Everything unfolded as depicted in the prophetic vision, yet Ye Fan was doing good deeds rather than committing slaughter.

Finally, Ye Fan, with his own strength, rescued everyone, and the surrounding red glow quickly faded. But at this point, Ye Fan had become somewhat exhausted, essentially single-handedly rescuing over two hundred cultivators present.

All around, many cultivators lay bent and twisted, some dead or injured, as not everyone could endure the illusions for long; some were killed by the illusions before Ye Fan could rescue them.

"Poof!" Ye Fan spat out a mouthful of blood, standing with his sword.
